Most of these gifts cost from 25 to 600 rubles of generations plus printing if you need it (KADR (kadr-ai.ru) data, November 2026). Below are 8 ideas, who each one suits, how to make it and how much it costs. Do it in advance: by mid-December print shops are busy.

How: yourself in anime, 3D or comic style, AI photo trends.

Tip: print it in 4K and put it in a frame.

2. A children’s book

A fairy tale with a fictional hero who looks like the child (the same hair colour, favourite toy, name), 10 illustrations in one style and a cover with the title.

How: a children’s fairy tale with AI.

3. A 2027 calendar

12 months with family photos, a pet or illustrations in one style.

4. A video from Ded Moroz

A personalised greeting: Ded Moroz calls the child by name and praises them for the year’s achievements.

5. A sticker pack

A friend or colleague as a cartoon character in 6 to 12 emotions, a ready pack for Telegram.

6. A poster

A favourite city, the place where you met, a pet, or a «movie-style» poster with your names (without other people’s logos and film titles).

Example prompt:

Vintage travel poster of Saint Petersburg in winter: the Neva river, snowy embankment, warm lights, flat retro illustration style. Text at the bottom: «Санкт-Петербург, где мы встретились». 3:4

(The inscription means «Saint Petersburg, where we met»; for an English poster, write the text in English inside the quotation marks.)

7. An animated family photo

An old photo of grandparents is restored, colourised and brought to life: the people smile and turn to each other.

How: restore an old photo, how to animate a photo.

8. A personalised card

A card with a name and your own text, from scratch or from a photo.

How: greeting card with AI.
